Register: Apple Blossom Festival, Wenatchee

The Washington State Apple Blossom Festival, originally called "Blossom Days", was founded as a one-day festival in 1919 to celebrate the importance of the apple industry to the region. Following World War II, the festival was renamed the Washington State Apple Blossom Festival to more accurately reflect the importance of the apple industry in North Central Washington. Held during the last days of April and early May, the festival has grown to eleven days.

The Wenatchee Applarians is the hosting and goodwill organization for the community and host for the hospitality weekend, May 3-5. The hospitality packet is $300 for a couple and $175 for a single. The packet covers access to the hospitality suite, the Queen's Ball on Friday, breakfast on Saturday, seating for the parade if not marching and the "100th Jubilee Derby" Saturday night. The registration deadline is April 5.

The Rose Planting Ceremony will take place at 9:30 am at the Triangle Park (by the Apple Blossom Float) Buses will depart for the Rose Planting Ceremony from the LOWER LEVEL CONVENTION CENTER at 9:15 am. 

The host hotel is the Coast Wenatchee Center Hotel and has a festival special room rate of $119 per night. Ask for the "Applarian Block" when booking. Hotel reservations are not included in festival packets so hotel reservations must be made separately.
